“The Interjected Author: Finding The Perfect Poststructuralist Novel Through Barthes’ Dead   Author Reader ”                                 by Rosco Cohen Jacob Shores Martin Amis Salman Rushdie John Fowles Kurt Vonnegut Junior William Golding Nobody Everybody You              The year is   1968 1868 .  The  author reader rides along in the relative safety of his big black car.  A humming camera digests A sharp reporter writes An audience watches the scene.  With a few loud pops and a few more screams   the a camera captures the   author's reader's head snap back and to the left.  The   author reader is dead, brains spread across the car seat like wet rice.  The question now: who holds the smoking gun?     So who did kill the   author reader ?  The puzzle may be even too difficult for   Oliver Stone Roland Barthes .  Roland Barthes seems to be a key suspect.  His   essay novel text The Death of the   Author Reader leaves him red-handed.  However, this   text novel essay also claims that the   author reader is merely the location of the   text novel .  Therefore, the evidence is absolutely   irrelevant relevant .   Barthes cannot be accused of this one.  He said so himself.   There are, of course, many other suspects.  The structuralists on the grassy knoll could have easily done the job without knowing it.  Perhaps, it was even before them with a bullet from the canonical depository shot by the likes of   Lawrence Sterne Nathanial Hawthorne and his Tristram Shandy Scarlet Letter .   Of course, without the camera recording reporter writing audience watching it would the   author reader really have died at all?  In this case, the   text author becomes the author text , which then proceeds to commit suicide.  There are many tricky confusing postmodern  options to work with and no fingerprints to be traced.  These many different readings fit into Barthes own concept of the pleasure of texts from his essay The Pleasure of Texts.  In any text there is a Pleasure that has the subsets of “pleasure” and “bliss”.   Since  Barthes Barthes' own   text essay novel is a discourse and does not fall outside the realm of a   "fiction" fiction the reader can approach his text using Barthes’ own tools.  The pleasure of a text is anything that goes one further than an absolute transparent reading.  By proclaiming the   author reader dead in a   text novel (generally considered the land of the   author reader ) Barthes creates a very “pleasurable” scene.   It is impossible to read this scene plainly and connections need to be made (a  chicken egg needs to come before an egg chicken or the other way round).   The surface always has something   deeper slightly deeper .  All of this, according to Barthes, is the pleasure of   his a   text novel .
